I had a great experience with Milton from J Sewer & Drain Plumbing. He was thorough and efficient, and did not try any upsells when there was likely a potential for one. I always appreciate honest and kind workers and will continue to use J Sewer & Drain for my future plumbing needs. Would highly recommend this team!

I’ve had J Sewer and Drain out to my house twice now for two different toilet related issues - the original contractor must have done some shotty plumbing work. The leaky toilet on the first floor was a simple repair; the appointment was scheduled same day and the issue was resolved within the hour appointment. The leaky toilet on the second floor required some sub-floor to be replaced; the issue was resolved at a reasonable rate for the amount of work required. I appreciated the professionalism and attention to detail I saw with both teams.

I had a clogged sink and leaking pipes that turned into an emergency on a Sunday night. I was honestly shocked when David (the owner) picked up my call at 10:30 PM and was able to help right away. He arrived at my house first thing the next morning at 7:30 AM! David was extremely polite, very knowledgeable, and kept the pricing fair and affordable. He explained everything clearly and got the job done efficiently. In a stressful plumbing situation, that’s exactly what you hope for. Highly recommend Elevate Plumbing — David and his team are the real deal! If you need reliable, responsive service, look no further.

Very pleased with my experience with Tech PSD! I had a clogged sewer line in my home and had been recommended Tech PSD. I made a call in the morning and a crew was sent out the same day. Val helped out and was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They treated me like family and did a professional job. They came with all the tools they needed to get the job done and were clean. I appreciate their attention to detail and how they even sent me a video of the sewer line to ensure that the blockage had been properly remedied. I would not hesitate to recommend Tech PSD's services to anyone with plumbing needs. They do high quality work and truly are professionals in their craft.

I know when people read reviews there's normally a little skepticism like, "Is this legit?"; I'm here to tell you from my experience with working with these guys LITERALLY RIGHT NOW, they have been GREAT. From their initial diagnostics, to their scheduling, the work, everything has been exceptional! They arrived promptly (actually early), and sent over professionals to deal with a busted cast iron mainline pipe that was found to be cracked. Their guys knew what they were doing and walked me through essentially every step along the way for my explanation. Long story short these guys were great and I would highly recommend! - Joe V

My toilet started running nonstop and wouldn’t stop even after trying to fix it myself. I finally called Chicago Drain Masters Plumbing 24/7, and their plumber in Chicago arrived within an hour. He quickly diagnosed the issue a wornout flapper and fill valve replaced both, and made sure everything was flushing perfectly before leaving. It’s such a relief to find reliable Chicago plumbing that actually responds fast and does the job right the first time. Definitely my go-to plumbers from now on.

I had a clogged shower drain that kept backing up no matter what I tried. I called Chicago Drain Masters Plumbing 24/7, and their plumber in Chicago showed up within an hour. He used a drain snake and professional jetting equipment to clear a stubborn hair and soap blockage deep in the line. The water drains perfectly now, and he even gave me a few tips on how to prevent future buildup. Extremely professional, quick, and affordable, I’d recommend them to anyone needing reliable Chicago plumbing help.

The service today from J Sewer & Drain Plumbing was beyond excellent. I very much thank Marcelo and the other great crew member for their service. Marcelo is a knowledgeable professional who accurately diagnosed the plumbing and sewer line issues we were experiencing and determined the most practical, cost effective solutions and provided options. Once the work was started, Marcelo kept me well informed and he and his fellow crew member stayed on the problem until it was resolved. And it was a tough drainage problem for sure! I highly recommend J Sewer & Drain Plumbing for anyone looking for a company with integrity, professionalism, cost effectiveness, and the ability to fix problems. Thank you Marcelo and crew, very much.

I highly recommend them!! We had interacted with multiple plumbing & HVAC companies, and J Sewer & Drain Plumbing is the BEST, most professional, transparent, sincere, competent, and reliable. They communicated well with us about the work that needs to be done and when they did, they covered the entire area. We were doing bathroom remodeling at the same time. While the contractors did a nice work, they left a huge mess, dust everywhere, they were mixing glue, cutting tiles on our living room without covering our furnitures, floors, other rooms, etc. They are on our cell and will reach out if any plumbing related issues arise.

We called J Sewer & Drain at 5pm on a Friday after finding our basement flooded and they had a team out to our house within an hour. Carlos and Neris showed up and quickly identified the issue (tree roots were obstructing our sewer line) and got right to work rodding the line. The problem was resolved within few hours and they shared a reco for restoration/cleanup. They were friendly, professional and patient in helping us understand what the issue was and how to prevent it in the future. Would definitely recommend.

I needed a water heater installation for a tenant and JSewer and Drain did NOT disappoint. Diego and Luis were exemplary plumbers. All of JSewer’s crew are amazing! They are my go to plumbers. I found them last February and I’ll always call them for all my plumbing needs. The tenant stated “that’s an amazing water tank.” They’re very pleased.

When Diego arrived to my house I told him that there was something wrong with my water system before he started working. The cold supply line to my water heater was shut off I drained my water heater overnight but when I woke up this morning water was still flowing out. This meant cold water was leaking into my hot water pipes and back into my water heater. Although I told the team working on my water heater replacement this information as soon as they walked in they cut into the hot side pipe knowing that there was running water in it. This this started to flood my furnished rental apartment in my basement. Instead of trying to cap the leak The Operators started to try and soak up the leak. The water continued to leak until they finally went back to Home Depot to buy a new shut-off valve. It is my opinion that when a customer let you know there's a problem you should come up with a plan before cutting a pipe with running water in it. All I wanted was a simple apology from management but instead Jesus gaslit me into believing that this was how the work was supposed to be done and that he had 25 years of experience and these things just happen and I should be thankful that somebody was willing to work on Sunday. Regardless if they flooded my basement or not. The hot water did get installed and the damage was minimal (only because me and my renter worked diligently at mitigating the flood) so i paid what was owed but i will not be fooled to believe this was the best service that i could have recieved.

I got multiple estimates for an exterior flood control system, but J Sewer & Drain stood out right away. The owner was honest, responsive, and offered a fair price compared to other contractors. The work was completed quickly and smoothly with no issues at all. Glad I went with them. Ruby

Had an issue with my laundry sink and my laundry faucet. My friend recommended I called Drain And plumbing services Because they had worked on his house in the past. Valerie was very nice in answering my call and scheduling the appointment. Roman was my plumber and he was excellent. The price was fair and the work was done very fast. I also got warranty on labor from the company, which is a big bonus. I will continue to call them from now on.

Peggy Woloszyk

Our house is 100 years old. Water was backing up into our basement shower. We called 3 companies and only Fair Plumbing sent someone out that same day. Manny used the camera and found that some clay pipes had shifted and rodding out the pipes did not clear the build up. The next day, Manny, Anthony and Gabriel arrived. A section of the basement concrete floor needed to be jackhammered to expose the pipe. Once exposed, they also found a hole in the sewer pipe and in the drain pipe. The clay pipes were replaced with a 10 foot PVC pipe, a new drain and two clean out traps were also installed. Anthony and Gabriel did a great job laying the new concrete and Manny made sure to keep us informed throughout the entire project. The team came on time, plastic was hung around the work area, they mopped the floor and did a great job cleaning up. They told us what they needed to do and they got it done. Thank you so much!

Our toliet had been sprouting water from the tank, as well as leaking from around the bottom. Thomas and Rolando from The Fair Plumbers came out, and replaced the wax seal which was pretty much nonexistent, replaced the supply line and reconnected the valve. They were quick, thorough, and informative. The office also did a good job communicating when the plumbers were scheduled and on their way. Overall a great experience!

Dex and the crew literally saved our night (and our hardwood floors!) We got home from work and the kitchen sink was backing up with gross water and quickly started overflowing onto the floor. Between bailing out drainage water and panicking, Rescue Plumbing answered the phone in 2 rings and said we can help you right now. Not only did Dex and his team show up AFTER HOURS in the SNOW, they were warm, kind and jumped right into action to save my kitchen. They knew exactly what to do, explained it all to me, told me the costs right up front and stuck to it. Within 30 minutes they fixed our building’s drainage issue, cleaned up the kitchen neat as a pin and were out the door with a quick joke. I hope I don’t need to see them again but also if I need a plumber, they’re saved in my phone and getting every recommendation. 4 seasons and ABC told me I’d have to wait til tomorrow afternoon at the earliest and I think my floors would have been ruined from overflowing sink water if I didn’t have Rescue Plumbing. Thank you Dex and team!!!

What a great and fast job they did! We have a bursted pipe and called them. In less than 1 hour Javier and Jimmy showed up and were able to quickly repair the pipe. They kept us informed of pricing and steps throughout the whole process. Javier was really good at identifying where the burst was and only had to do a small whole in the wall. 10/10!! From call to fixed less than 3h

Dex always comes through for us in an emergency! We have had several plumbing issues in our condo in the last 12 months, and Dex has been great. He's always responsive and persistent, even coming back a few times free of charge to tinker with his solutions to chronic issues we're dealing with. He's been trustworthy and friendly, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

I did a cold call to Climatech plumbing (Sami) and he was personable and interested as I communicated my project of updating my basement laundry room and the utilities, and Sami came the next day to see the project! My project---Updating the location of gas W/D, Laundry sink both needing water pipe & drain rerouting/laundry box install, adjusting of an in floor drain no longer being used by the updating, install a new Zoeller sewage pump and update its piping/venting/rerouting, remove old galvanized drain pipe and install pvc pipe to create a better multi drain configuration connection of my existant overhead sewer system, remove an old traditional aged hot water heater and install a new positioned Navien tankless H/W heater with new gas/water and thru wall exhauting piping, adjust furnace gas pipe, relocate/install gas dryer exhaust venting duct & end cap with boring tool. Lots of work which the team completed within the timeframe stated and i was very satisified with the workmanship of the project. I added some additional work based upon Sami's pricing to install a new main water ball shut off valve and adjust my common bath/sink drain by removing the galvanized piping and reconfiguring new pvc drain lines which im glad i did as looking inside the galvanized water main pipe and the galvanized drain lines that were narrowed and filled with debris. Sami kept me updated via text & calls of a schedule that he kept and answered my questions and concerns in a timely manner. Sami and his co-worker did a great job, were respectful of my home and were clean and tidy. Im a 1st time customer and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND CLIMATECH PLUMBING!!

We had a broken water heater, and the plumber came out within an hour to take a look. He was professional, knowledgeable, and had us set up with a new tankless water heater within 24 hours. The team worked quickly and cleanly—there was little to no disruption in our home. Everything looks great, and we’re back in business with plenty of hot water. I highly recommend them for anyone needing fast, reliable, and quality plumbing service!

Sam was quick to respond from the moment we reached out to him about needing a new hot water heater. Sam and his helper did an excellent job of removing the old 50 gallon tank and installing a new Navien tankless model at a very reasonable price. We appreciated how they were able to fit us in right away and how they came back the next morning to finish up, even though Sam was feeling quite ill. We already have some other plumbing jobs we plan on scheduling with Sam. And he referred us to an excellent electrician who installed a new outlet that was needed for the Navien water heater, also very reasonable. I would highly recommend Sam.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Evanston, Illinois

Homeowners in Evanston know that while our historic North Shore properties are beautiful, their aging plumbing systems can be a significant challenge. From the tree-lined streets near Northwestern University to the classic homes in the Lakeshore area, clogged drains are a frequent headache that requires more than just a store-bought solution. Our service is designed to simplify the repair process in a city where the best contractors are often booked weeks in advance.

Instead of you calling down a list of every plumber in the Chicago suburbs only to find they are unavailable, we do the heavy lifting for you. We filter our network of certified Evanston professionals by your specific zip code and call them directly to confirm they can handle your drain emergency today. This ensures you get a verified, available expert without the stress of 'no-shows' or 'we're too busy' responses.

Common Drain Issues in Evanston, Illinois

Many older Evanston homes still rely on original clay sewer lines. Over decades, these pipes can shift or crack due to the freeze-thaw cycles of Lake Michigan winters, leading to slow drains and frequent backups that require professional snaking or hydro-jetting.

Evanston is famous for its lush, mature tree canopy, but those massive oaks and maples have roots that seek out moisture in your sewer lines. These roots can penetrate small pipe joints, causing stubborn blockages that require heavy-duty equipment to clear safely without damaging the pipes.

With our proximity to the lake and occasional heavy Midwest downpours, basement floor drains in Evanston are under constant pressure. Silt and urban debris often clog these low-point drains, creating a major risk for basement flooding during the stormy spring season.

In downtown Evanston and the high-density areas near the university, multi-unit buildings often face 'stack' clogs. These occur when grease and organic waste from upper-floor residents accumulate in shared vertical lines, often causing sudden and messy backups for those living on the lower levels.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Evanston, Illinois

Spring: After the Illinois ground thaws, check your outdoor area drains and basement sumps for silt or gravel buildup deposited by melting snow and heavy spring rains.

Summer: Increased water usage from gardening and guest visits can strain your system. If you notice slow drainage, have a camera inspection performed before the peak of the growing season when tree roots are most active.

Fall: Ensure that falling leaves don't clog your exterior window well drains or gutter downspouts, as these are often integrated into Evanston's older combined sewer systems.

Winter: To prevent sluggish drains during a North Shore deep freeze, keep your home's internal temperature consistent and avoid pouring any fats or oils down the sink, as they solidify much faster in cold pipes.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Evanston, Illinois

$175-$525

Pricing in Evanston typically depends on the severity of the clog and the equipment required. Standard snaking is more affordable, while hydro-jetting or emergency after-hours service for historic homes may fall on the higher end of the scale.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Evanston, Illinois

How quickly can you find a plumber in Evanston?

Because we pre-verify availability across our local network, we can often find a certified professional who can be at your Evanston home within hours, even for 24/7 emergencies.

Do you service the area near Northwestern University?

Yes, our network covers all of Evanston, including the University district, Downtown, and the surrounding lakefront neighborhoods.

What if my Evanston home has very old plumbing?

We specifically filter for plumbers who have experience with the historic clay and cast-iron systems common in older North Shore properties to ensure your pipes are handled safely.

Is hydro-jetting available for stubborn root issues?

Absolutely. Many of the plumbers in our Evanston network offer hydro-jetting, which is the most effective way to clear the heavy tree root intrusions common in our 'City of Churches'.

Why do you call the plumber for me first?

We know your time is valuable. By confirming they are currently available and can reach your specific zip code before we connect you, we eliminate the frustration of you making dozens of unsuccessful calls.
